Here's a thought for you...Rudy will NOT go negative against McCain, expecting McCain to drop out of the race within 6 months, when his poll numbers trend south. McCain may well want to be SecDef..
You and I are on the same wave length -- Secretary of Defense. McCain doesn't act like he did in 2000 when he was going all out to win. I think Rudy's campaign should stay completely positive because the other candidates are going to start dropping out along the way with nothing said.
All you have to do is look at yesterday when Romney announced and the news wasn't about Romney but Rudy and McCain.
